Phil Mailloux Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Does anybody know what kind of material they use to make those pickup covers that cover the magnet pole pieces? (a la EMG) Plastic, epoxy, other? and is it possible to machine or melt myself some of those covers for my homemade pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Mailloux Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks Stahler, that's nice, but i'm interested in making it myself if I can find out how the stuff is done and what for material it is. It's for homemade Musicman bass humbuckers with my own customized string spacing so it really couldn't be found anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAHLER Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Ok I hope you find the info you need, good luck. You could make metal ones ( like LPs) by just folding some sheet metal or alloy or make a dummy pup out of wood and use fiber glass sheets to make your cover. I have never tryed any of these ideas but they may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
